Just to reiterate, I am in Seoul, South Korea on holiday but I live in Sydney, Australia.
Your website requires I pick a state and having read President Obama's books and also the works of Bill Bryson (Iowa) I have a deep regard and fascination for the Mid West.
Palin for the GOP nomination! Obama for President!
The world, not just the USA, has a lot at stake.

I see your logic.
How could the American public possibly choose a ignoramus like Ms Palin compared to the competant, ethical, love child of FDR and Lincoln - President Obama.
Go ahead Palin, make our days.

Steve, of California you seem typical of the folks who recently elected Jerry Brown as Governor of your bankrupt state of California. You wouldn't know the answer to a problem if it slapped you in the face. Talk about idiots. You folks had the chance to elect someone who would have saved your state but you threw her under the bus and went for the proven loser. What a bunch of nuts.

Your words wreak of hate, venom and obvious jealously against a very successful woman who runs circles around your miserable low life.

The sorry a-- news media , liberals and Obama are doing a fine job on teaching young people how to disrespect other people . Yes , Palins kids are getting a good lesson in disrespect , they see how their mother is being treated .

Sarah Palin did not quit to save Alaska money. She as governor enacted those ethics laws, which were poorly written and gave every nutcase a green light to file one because every suit filed needs to be investigated. The biggest, most costly, most stupidly frivolous lawsuit against her was filed by Sarah Palin. And lets not forget she was found guilty of some of those ethics charges and had to refund the state thousands of dollars. And now, despite the fact that she is a millionaire many times over, she is still asking for money from other people to pay her legal bills while Alaska pays to wade through all the crap she brought on with her silly, inexperienced behavior as governor. What exactly is her political legacy? She so heavily taxed the oil companies that she's enacted a welfare fund for every single citizen while those companies are quietly moving across the border. She accepted 97% of the US funds tossed at Alaska - the most heavily subsidized state in the union. Does that sound like a fiscal conservative? Taxing the crap out of big business and accepting billions in US subsidies? Beyond that, what else has she done?????????
Sarah Palin quit because she liked the idea of the national stage. She likes to compare herself to Reagan, but Reagan was governor for two full terms, presided over all sorts of crises during his tenure, and ran three clean, above-board campaigns for the presidency before he finally won. He also knew how to speak to everyone, not just those he liked or pandered to, and he knew the value of compromising with his opponents. She is no Reagan.
And don't tout her family values. No pregnant woman with an ounce of caring for her unborn would so jeopardize her high risk Down Syndrome son as she so flagrantly insists. No mother would parade her children in front of the media as she has done, placing them squarely in the limelight for jokes and lewd comments. No decent parent would teach her children such disrespect for other people.

Mr. Cisco, do you ever read the news? your lethargy shows an apathetic inactivity and an abnormal state of disorder when it comes to the knowledge of what a president is suppose to have accomplished.

I understand why you do not give your reasons. There is none. But go ahead give some reasons. Will get disproven with evidence and links by me...

Thanks for your concern . May-be though , you should try some advice to your man Obama . Some advice on getting unemployment under 8% or 7.5% , getting small businesses to invest again , getting medicare and S.S. under control , getting gas back under 2.50$ gal. , getting the housing problem turned around , getting an energy policy that will work , wow , this is easy . Seems you should be giving yourselves some advice . I bet Obama could give you some advice on your golf swing or a nice place to vacation .
Anyway , just because your man Obama is spending the last year and a half of his four year term campaigning ( just as he did as Ill. senator )( and Palin is a quiter ? ) doesn't mean everyone needs to look foolish for as long .
